Moscow, Russia – April 30, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad greeted participants on the second day of the Open Dialogue “Future of the World: New Platform for Global Growth” during the “Presentation of the Future World” session at the Russia National Centre.
Mahathir Mohamad is known as the person who transformed a resource-based country into a leading exporter of high-tech products. The former Malaysian Prime Minister shared his experience with experts and essayists of the Open Dialogue and wished them success in their work.
Due to his advanced age, Mahathir Mohamad could not personally attend the Russia National Centre – he turns 100 this year. He delivered his address in digital format.
“I would like to thank the National Centre ‘Russia’ for inviting me to speak before you and share my thoughts with the participants of the Open Dialogue, which is being held under the motto ‘Future of the World – New Platform for Global Movement.’ Today, the world is engulfed in instability and uncertainty, both in governance and in economics. Technological progress has given much to humanity, but these achievements have created dangerous weapons. At the same time, the development of science and technology saves many lives. The most interesting development is related to artificial intelligence – AI, which opens up access for humanity to unlimited knowledge in all spheres ever studied or mastered,” emphasised Mahathir Mohamad.
The former Malaysian Prime Minister also noted that today’s world changes incredibly fast. Mahathir Mohamad believes that for new technologies to improve human life, it is necessary to educate the young generation to work with them.
“Education plays a key role here. If new scientific and technological knowledge is available to all schoolchildren, they will become a powerful tool for a more just and equal society. I believe that we can build a better world in which technology and intelligence, complemented by humanity, will become the foundation of new global growth and a deterrent factor for wars and aggression,” Mahathir Mohamad addressed the participants of the Open Dialogue.
The second day of the Open Dialogue continued with panel pitchings featuring experts and essay authors across all four tracks: “Investment in People,” “Investment in Technologies,” “Investment in Environment,” and “Investment in Connectivity.”
The international project Open Dialogue “Future of the World. New Platform for Global Growth” takes place at the Russia National Centre from April 28 to 30, 2025. It is attended by international experts from leading analytical centres, including 24 world-class experts, development institutes, higher education, government institutions, business associations, youth organisations, science, and journalism. Authors of the best essays on the world’s future from 42 countries also joined the event. The NC “Russia” expert council selected the works from among 696 essays written in 18 languages. The Open Dialogue participants represent 48 countries (all continents of the Earth).
